Spine Surgery

Spine Surgery refers to a range of surgical procedures designed to treat conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, fractures, or degenerative disc disease.

Common spine surgeries include discectomy (removal of a herniated disc), spinal fusion (joining two or more vertebrae), and laminectomy (removal of part of the vertebrae to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves). These procedures aim to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the patient's quality of life by addressing issues such as nerve compression, instability, or misalignment. The specific procedure depends on the condition and severity of the spine issue.

Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of spine surgeries, including:

  • Spinal Fusion: A surgical procedure that joins two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain caused by conditions such as degenerative disc disease or spinal instability.
  • Discectomy: A surgical procedure to remove a portion of a herniated or damaged disc in the spine, relieving pressure on nerves and reducing pain.
  • Decompression Surgery: Also known as laminectomy or laminotomy, this procedure involves removing portions of the bone or tissue to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by conditions like spinal stenosis or bone spurs.
  • Artificial Disc Replacement: An alternative to spinal fusion, this procedure involves replacing a damaged or degenerated disc with an artificial implant to maintain motion and stability in the spine.
  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Utilizing small incisions and specialized instruments, minimally invasive techniques offer the benefits of reduced muscle damage, faster recovery, and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
  • What is spine surgery?
    Spine surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the spine to treat various conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities, fractures, and spinal tumors. The goal of spine surgery is to relieve pain, stabilize the spine, and restore function and mobility.
  • When is spine surgery recommended?
    Spine surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and injections have failed to alleviate symptoms, and the patient continues to experience persistent pain, weakness, or numbness that significantly impacts their quality of life. The decision to undergo spine surgery is made on a case-by-case basis after a thorough evaluation by a spine specialist.
  • What are the different types of spine surgery?
    There are several types of spine surgery, including spinal fusion, discectomy, laminectomy, decompression surgery, artificial disc replacement, and minimally invasive spine surgery. The specific type of surgery recommended will depend on the patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, and overall health.
  • What are the risks associated with spine surgery?
    Like any surgical procedure, spine surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, nerve damage, and complications related to anesthesia. However, the risk of complications can be minimized by choosing an experienced spine surgeon and following pre-operative and post-operative instructions carefully.
  • What is the recovery process like after spine surgery?
    The recovery process after spine surgery varies depending on the type of surgery performed and the patient’s individual circumstances. Generally, patients can expect to spend some time in the hospital for monitoring and pain management before being discharged home. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are often recommended to help patients regain strength, mobility, and function gradually.
